En el siglo I de nuestra era, Pomponio Flato viaja por los confines del Imperio romano en busca de unas aguas de efectos portentosos. El azar y la precariedad de su fortuna lo llevan a Nazaret, donde va a ser ejecutado el carpintero del pueblo, convicto del brutal asesinato de un rico ciudadano.Muy a su pesar, Pomponio se ve inmerso en la solución del crimen, contratado por el más extraordinario de los clientes: el hijo del carpintero, un niño candoroso y singular, convencido de la inocencia de su padre, hombre en apariencia pacífico y taciturno, que oculta, sin embargo, un gran secreto. Cruce de novela histórica, novela policíaca, hagiografía y parodia de todas ellas, El asombroso viaje de Pomponio Flato es la obra más insólita e inesperado de Eduardo Mendoza, y también una de las más ferozmente divertidas. Como en el Quijote se ponían en solfa los libros de caballerías, aquí se ajustan las cuentas a muchas novelas de consumo, y se construye, al mismo tiempo, una nueva modalidad del género más característico de Eduardo Mendoza: la trama detectivesca original e irónica, que desemboca en una sátira literaria y en una desternillante creación de inagotable vitalidad novelesca.

The sheer volume of prolific Spanish novelist and playwright Benito Pérez Galdós's literary production has rendered overall assessment of his body of work all but impossible. The later volumes in his ambitious and popular Episodios nacionales series, in particular, have suffered from scholarly indifference.In this acclaimed study, Brian J. Dendle closely considers the twenty-six novels in this series written between 1898 and 1912. These episodios, Dendle contests, are artistically superior to the earlier volumes and offer a unique opportunity to establish the ideological profile of the matur

Acclaimed translator Edith Grossman brings to English-language readers Rojas's imaginative vision of Francisco de Goya and the reverberations of his art in Fascist Spain This historical novel by one of Spain's most celebrated authors weaves a tale of disparate time periods: the early years of the nineteenth century, when Francisco de Goya was at the height of his artistic career, and the final years of Generalissimo Franco's Fascist rule in the 1970s. Rojas re-creates the nineteenth-century corridors of power and portrays the relationship between Goya and King Fernando VII, a despot bent on establishing a cruel regime after Spain's War of Independence. Goya obliges the king's request for a portrait, but his depiction not only fails to flatter but reflects a terrible darkness and grotesqueness. More than a century later, transcending conventional time, Goya observes Franco's body lying in state and experiences again a dark and monstrous despair. Rojas's work is a dazzling tour de force, a unique combination of narrative invention and art historical expertise that only he could have brought to the page.
